WH flip-flopped on their memes against Dems last week and media didn't NOTICE?
Edited on Mon Mar-19-07 11:28 AM by blm
For the last two years the corporate media repeated the RW talking point that the 'Democrats have no plans for Iraq' even as several Dems consistently presented suitable plans for Iraq withdrawal.

Now, last week the Democrats coalesced on a compromise withdrawal plan that had most every Democratic senator's support and even 1 Republican senator, and the RW talking point for the week was the complaint that the Democrats were 'trying to micro-manage the war' a complete 180 from their last two years of complaints against Democrats.

Oh newsmedia, where art thou?

1. This WH has made enough flip-flops to provide snappy footwear to all of China
But the media never notices it.

Props to you for pointing out this latest one, because it's pretty significant, but it's sad that this is another fundamental change of policy that gets lost in the administration's noise.

5. I hope that becomes a well-worn saying.
Very catchy and well-put.

2. They helped perpetuate this meme.
I wouldn't count on a mea culpa from them.

4. They're more likely to blame themselves for abetting lies instead of blaming BushInc
for telling the lies or holding BushInc responsible in any way.

3. They didn't miss it- they anxiously regurgitated it. As usual.
I've heard and read that charge being referenced by more than one corporate "journalist" since last week. Good point though- thanks briniging it up.
